It works with the -- comment format.  Has the C format been added to
the standard, or is it an extension?  If the latter, support for it
would be up to the PostgreSQL community -- it's only a bug if we say
it is.
 
cc=> select 'a' --comment
'b';
 ?column?
----------
 ab
(1 row)

cc=> select 'a' -- comment
-- comment
'b';
 ?column?
----------
 ab
(1 row)
